Air We Breathe

(الألبوم: Steal This Record - 2001)

Why do you choose
To walk through life so blind
Frozen hearts
And empty minds
Its everywhere
But we still don't see
And I blame you
And you blame me
And everyday
I slowly lose my mind
And every time
I come up empty
Something else inside me
Starts to die
And I'm left
Alone and angry

It's in the air
That we breathe each day
It's what we call
The American way
It's in the way
That we treat each other
We segregate
And we fight our brothers

Why are we raised
To pledge allegiance
To a flag
That rapes and bleeds us
And we're all free
Or so we're told
A country with a corrupted soul
And everyday
We chase that dream
With empty eyes
And painted smiles
And everyday
We wait to die
Still no one cares
And I'm just as guilty

It's in the air
That we breathe each day
It's what we call
The American way
It's in the way
That we treat each other
We segregate
And we fight our brothers

I only see
What they let me see
I only do
What they tell me to

No!
Yeah!
Don't see
Don't speak
Don't feel
Don't think

Compassion is a myth
The sad truth
Is ignorance is bliss
Cut from a heartless mold
Stand up
Let the truth be told

It's in the air
That we breathe each day
It's what we call
The American way
It's in the way
That we treat each other
We segregate
And we fight our brothers
